9 -> Yogawheel — YogaNBlock

I am totally in love with the yogawheel.

I teach yogaflow classes with the wheel, using it as a prop, to massage your body, to relax, to restore, to open the front and the side body, to assist in inversions and to shape up your core.

Having a yogawheel at home is also amazing, to massage your spine or to open shoulders and chest.

What more can the yogawheel give you =>

*The yoga wheel will immediately stretch your entire front & side body, hip flexors, abdomen, chest, and shoulders. It’s a serious heart opener!

*It will massage the entire length of your spine in a safe (it gives a lot of support) but deep way.

*The wheel helps yoga practitioners move deeper into postures, specifically heart opening postures like backbends and forearm balances.

* The magic wheel will give you the best support in deep backbends. A backbent will not be scary anymore.

*You can also use the wheel to access deeper variations of backbends in poses like forearm balance or Pincha Mayurasana -> my favorite asana. Thanks to the BIG support from the yogawheel you will feel safer and you will have much more balance.

Note => This is an advanced posture that should be practiced with caution and experience – please be safe!

*Aside from the stretching and heart opening aspects, the wheel can also double as a flexibility tool. Let's "roll" yourself deeper in your stretches (breathing & moving slowly).

*Because you always need to look for balance, you can use the wheel to strengthen your core. There are a lot of funny ways to make that core stronger, using the wheel!

*And lastly, the yoga wheel can help challenge and strengthen your balance.

Note => It is not easy so please try with care! :-)
